Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: While several studies have described short-term increases in fathers' reports of household labor during the pandemic, few have reported on longer-term trends. We estimated the association between recalled changes in household responsibilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic and current health-related parental responsibility. METHODS: Father-mother dyads with young children (n = 253) completed surveys. We used Actor-Partner Interdependence Models to estimate the association between recalled household responsibility change during the pandemic and current health-related parental responsibility. RESULTS: Recalled increases in household responsibility during the pandemic were associated with higher current health-related parental responsibility among fathers (β= 0.05, SE = 0.03), though not mothers. CONCLUSIONS: The pandemic may have catalyzed increases in father responsibility and facilitated a shift towards more egalitarian household labor divisions. Findings pose design implications for parenting interventions; for example, programs may shift from mother-focused to family-systems approaches, include content that reflect more egalitarian care, and incorporate curricula that address fathers' increasing responsibilities.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
